May I Be Excused

Image
Rise and Shine for Jesus! \O/ By Pam Iannello (my late mother) After pondering our scripture verse for today, I've now got a little tune ringing in my head.  Perhaps you're familiar with it, the chorus goes like this: Excuses, Excuses; you'll hear them every day. The devil will supply them if from church you'll stay away. When people come to know the Lord, the devil always loses, And so to keep us now from living right, he offers us EXCUSES! Are you one for making excuses all the time?  Maybe you'll better be able to answer that question after looking at Proverbs 15:19, which says: The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns:  but the way of the righteous is made plain. The slothful person is of course, a lazy individual.  He is a SLUG!  He indulges in inactivity, has a habit of being idle.  In other words, he's not inclined to work.  (Sounds like a fellow who's going nowhere to me!)  The Bible says this per

Making Decisions

RISE AND SHINE FOR JESUS! \O/ By Pam Iannello (my late mother) Remember Miss Pam's devotional books make great Christmas gifts for any lady - friend or family - and is a great ministering tool! All of our books and music are available in our bookstore at  haynes4italy.com . Proverbs 6:20-22 (KJV) My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother: [21] Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck. [22] When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. One of the areas Christians tend to struggle the most is in making decisions. This is a time when a great deal of doubt and anxiety is experienced by God’s people. However, what we see in our text today is that the effects of attaching God’s Word to ourselves causes decision making to be an uncomplicated task! Ladies, how would you say that you typically make decisions in your

Make Use Of Me

Rise and Shine for Jesus! \O/ By Pam Iannello (my late mother) Romans 16:1-16 (KJV) I commend unto you Phebe our sister , which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea: [2] That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a succourer of many, and of myself also. [3] Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus: [4] Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles. [5] Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my wellbeloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ. [6] Greet Mary , who bestowed much labour on us. [7] Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me. [8] Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord. [9] Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved. [10] S

Gender Revealing Party

Claudia Mandela Haynes is due to be born March 14th! We are thankful that baby #4 is healthy and look forward to meeting our new baby girl.   At my ultrasound today, my step sister came along and the ultrasound tech gave her the slip of paper with the gender of the baby on it. She wanted so badly for me to have a gender revealing party. I was very patient :) and waited all afternoon until we arrived at my dad's house for dinner where she had a box waiting with the right colored balloons inside and when I opened it, well....you saw - they were pink!!! What a fun way to welcome another baby blessing into our family. Appreciate your continued prayers!

Make Me To Know

Rise and Shine for Jesus! \O/ By Pam Iannello  (my late mother) Job13:23, "How many are mine iniquities and my sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin." Can you ever remember a time when you prayed this way? What did Job ask God to grant him? Knowledge of his sins... He actually  wants  to tackle the worst about himself and invited God to help him! A rare quality indeed…The Bible says in Proverbs 20:6, “Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?” Through Job we discover the necessary perspective we should all have in order to remain teachable and moldable as God’s children! Ladies, our heavenly Father will gladly make known our transgressions and our sins to us when we ask Him. Not because He is a great big bully, but because He loves us and wants His children to cut themselves off from sin. Hence, we are then free to grow spiritually. However, most of us are more in tune to the many sins of others rather t
